Prolevel epoxy flooring1/9/2023 ![]() UltraTile ProLevel Ultimate has exceptional flow characteristics, a spiked roller may be used to further improve the finish particularly between adjacent units of product. Pour onto the floor and spread with a smooth edge steel trowel. After completely adding the powder, continue mixing for a further 2 minutes, keeping the whisk below the surface of the product to minimise air entrainment, until a lump free creamy material is attained. Gradually add the powder whilst continually mixing using an electric drill fitted with a power whisk, suitable for use with cement materials. Pour 4 litres of cold clean water into an oversized bucket (20 litres or more capacity). Priming is not required for the purpose of adhesion, it is also not required with applications to UltraFloor DPM IT or UltraFloor Suppress IT as long as UltraTile ProLevel Ultimate is applied within 12 hours of application and it is trafficable. Non-absorbent Subfloors (epoxy resin damp proof membranes, moisture tolerant adhesive residues, flooring grade asphalt, porcelain, ceramic, quarry and terrazzo floors, steel mezzanine decks, access panels etc): Specific priming requirements are needed for calcium sulphate/anhydrite/hemihydrate screeds. Any remaining residues should be firmly bonded, hard and not soluble to water. Subfloors must be sound, stable, free from dust, grease and all debris. Note: To ensure a pinhole free surface is attained priming can be carried out using UltraTile ProPrimer, where this is not important such as applications of textiles or loose lay laminate flooring, priming may be omitted. Please refer to ProLevel Ultimate’s datasheet for surface preparation of various substrate types, available at PRIMINGĪbsorbent Subfloors (concrete, sand & cement, plywood etc): Priming is not required for the purpose of adhesion. All substrates must be at a minimum temperature of 5☌ before, during and after application of the primer to ensure film forming and bonding is achieved. UltraTile recommend consultation with subfloor preparation equipment suppliers to ensure correct equipment for the substrates is selected. Where this has not been attained or where there is uncertainty that the subfloor design incorporates a Damp Proof Course (DPC) then UltraFloor DPM IT or UltraFloor Suppress IT must be applied (see relevant UltraFloor product technical datasheet). Subfloors should be tested in accordance with BS8203 to ensure a moisture reading of less than 75% RH is achieved. Smooth dense surfaces can be roughened by mechanical scabbling to enhance the key. Its protein free formulation means it is ideal for use in biologically sensitive areas.Ī moisture tolerant formulation makes it suitable for the pre-smoothing of floors prior to the application of surface damp proof membranes (DPM) and moisture vapour suppressants (MVS).ĭue to its excellent adhesion characteristics, it can be used on most common substrates without the need to prime.Īll surfaces must be dry and in a sound and stable condition free from contaminants that may prevent adhesion such as dust, oils, grease, surface laitance, water soluble adhesive residues and weak smoothing underlayments etc. ![]() ![]() It is designed for use over a wide variety of subfloors including: concrete, sand & cement, calcium sulphate/anhydrite/hemihydrate screeds, existing cementitious underlayments, damp proof membranes, surface electrical radiant heating systems, flooring grade plywood, rigid steel, flooring grade asphalt and hard sound bitumen residues, cement or thermal backer boards porcelain, ceramic, quarry or terrazzo floors and moisture tolerant adhesive residues.ĭecorative floor coverings can be applied to the internal subfloors in as little as 4 hours after the application of UltraTile ProLevel Ultimate. Excellent adhesion to almost all substratesĪpplied Thickness Coverage Per 20kg bag (approx.).Suitable for use over old adhesive residues.UltraTile ProLevel Ultimate is suitable over a wide range of subfloors at depths between 2-12mm and up to 30mm over good solid substrates such as concrete. It incorporates Ecosphere technology which is made with 20% recycled material for improved application and reduced environmental impact. The product’s unique formulation consists of a powdered blend of cements, polymers, graded fillers and additives. UltraTile ProLevel Ultimate is a semi-rapid curing, high performance free flowing single part smoothing underlayment.
